@darlingmydearly I think Overwatch has potential to make a comeback now with better management tbh. Once they get rid of Kotick and the other problems from blizzard. Microsoft will likely put more into OW2 to try and win the hearts of the players and have everyone be happy about the acquisition.

@PulseOfMe @ChrisBurrough15 @IGN Dude, you realise activison was part of making some of the biggest games ever right? Like WoW, CoD, Overwatch, Sekiro, Crash Bandicoot, Doom 3, Starcraft, etc, maybe not all of them were that popular, but specifically CoD and WoW are gonna be earning big bank for a long time.

@jordanwilgroove @IGN Honestly, I'm not to worried about Crash and Spyro. I don't see them being exclusive cause they don't constantly haul big bucks. Will they make cod exclusive, maybe some, not all. That's a huge playerbase to be cut off. Overwatch probably will become exclusive. It just depends.

@TheDreadfulLord @JayRembert2 @DestinLegarie Make crash and spyro and whatever else exclusive. But Overwatch and COD should stay multiplat. That's my stance.

Microsoft owns Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, CoD, Elder Scrolls, Dishonored, Fallout, Doom, Minecraft, World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Starfield, Death Loop, Tony Hawk, Prototype and more from 3 acquisitions in 2014, 2020, and 2022.

@TWTHEREDDRAGON That depends on which game is being exclusive is it cod yes that would effect but crash or spyro or tony hawk being exclusive wont affect the buisness cod warzone overwatch diablo are the ones that would affect mostly rest can be exclusive

@tha_rami Maybe if he were better at managing Blizzard, actually taking care of the major cultural issues, then Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 would already be out. Maybe if he had been more on top of those issues, he wouldn't have to sell ATVI and quietly leave out the side door.

@DanVMaul @JezCorden I agree The purchase is not bad, in the sense that COD, Overwatch (I'm a fan of shooters in general), crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Tony Hawk day one on GamePass is really cool But all those games from Ubisoft I listed being exclusive and GP is on another level. ANOTHER LEVEL

@thejrbc "They don't offer a lot of big titles" CoD casually being the best selling game almost every year Crash and Spyro casually being the old Sony mascots Overwatch casually being one of the biggest multi player shooter series Blizzard casually owning some of the most iconic PC games

(@Amaan_M05) reported
@AF_Tiresome_ @Nibellion Yes there definitely are advantages, like warzone will remain multiplat. But I dont see how it would benefit MS to put games like COD, Overwatch, Diablo, Crash, WoW, etc on other consoles. COD and Overwatch are so big that it would bring millions of people into gamepass.

@BlizzardCSEU_EN Please sort out the issues with CTF Blitz on Overwatch. There needs to be tougher penalties to players who leave games early. It is ruining the fun of the game.

@foxygames_uk Doubt law makers would allow for COD to be exclusive but I can see overwatch and crash bandicoot etc

@JMaine518 its the only part of the deal they care about, they don't even know what a Warcraft or StarCraft is lol Maybe Overwatch a little but not even sure about that I would love to see a pie chart of COD overall revenue include MTX broken down by platform

With the IP's Microsoft is about to own they should commission Rare (the developers of Diddy Kong Racing) to make an Xbox/PC arcadey kart racer... They could use Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Diablo, Overwatch characters + Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Minecraft's Steve, etc. Could be sweet

@klobrille World of Warcraft on Xbox, Overwatch 2 correcting its course and being exclusive, Beenox (a superhero game studio) under our roof, Spyro and Crash being Xbox mascots now, Call of Duty not having time pressure on it and sucking up great studios as support, the pros list goes on...

What’s weird about the Activision acquisition is that there’s not a single current franchise that I play outside of Destiny. All the games I want, they don’t make anymore. I don’t play CoD or WoW or Crash or Overwatch. Really doesn’t affect me at the moment.

I'm excited for Overwatch 2 which I would have bought anyway and it'll be nice not needing to pay for future Crash and Spyro games but other than that this doesn't interest me much.

@xgreen360 @CarterVettel @IGN This is the dumbest deal they can do, what are you on about. Cod, overwatch and Diablo ain’t nowhere near worth the trouble to make this deal. Be real now.

@TropicalMaku I really wanted Toys for Bob to do a Spyro 4 game after Crash 4 but the entire team was moved to (what my frien calls) the CoD mines to die. I would love to see Microsoft let those different teams work on other projects besides CoD and Overwatch.

@Colteastwood I think COD, Spyro and Crash (less so Spyro) will be multi platform. Overwatch and the other franchises no. Maybe THPS as well…

@SjwSpiderman They said that COD is the only big franchise that Activision Blizzard owns, as if WOW, Diablo, and Overwatch don't exist. Yeah, like you said, if the exclusivity were an issue then Nintendo would be in trouble; heck, maybe even Sony would.

@CaptionBarbosa Overwatch 2 could be a problem if they are keeping up with the plan to make it connected to the original. It is also supposed to come out before the deal is closed.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I think Valorant not displaying the ranks of your teams in the pregame lobby is a bigger problem than instalocking. ****'s even worse than Overwatch's private profiles.

@RitterVitaly @PSLifeStyle You known if Microsoft and Activision make CoD, Elder Scrolls, Diablo, Overwatch 2, Crash Bandicoot etc exclusive they loose at on a HUGE market? You’re just shooting yourself in the foot to make those franchises exclusive.

@Toadsanime This just feels so scummy. I don't think SONY has ever taken an existing IP and made it exclusive so that fans of the series are forced to buy PlayStation. Now we see this as a possibility for Quake/Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Diablo, Overwatch, CoD, Spyro and Crash...

@GFuelEnergy Overwatch is dead lmao, Call of duty has become dogshit, Spyro and crash haven't come out with a game in like 2 years that weren't remakes. Damn, they definitely won lmao anyways just get a PC to play all of those games.

@IGN Who care about Xbox? And who really care about Activision? Their portfolio is ****. Wow is done. StarCraft done. Diablo done. Overwatch done. CoD used to be good before they got so greedy they releas 3 games a year. Bethesda makes broken games. Xbox has not won anything.

Last year, @niandra_ let everybody know that Pride content was slated to come to Overwatch. In the end we got a player icon. ...Did Bobby Kotick have anything to do with that, or is that one on the dev team? Would be a lot less frustrating if it turned out he was the problem.
